Duplicating function signatures between server.py and server.pyi is
silly. This commit changes that by changing all `build_*` methods to
`get_*` methods and changing the `_make_dependency_method` to work work
as a descriptor that caches the produced value.
There are some changes in other files that were made to fix the typing
in server.py.
This PR:
* Reduces the amount of noise in the `check-newsfragment` CI output by hiding the dependency installation output by default.
* Prints a link to the changelog/debian changelog section of the contributing guide if an error is found.
This has long been something I've wanted to do. Basically the `Daemonize` code
is both too flexible and not flexible enough, in that it offers a bunch of
features that we don't use (changing UID, closing FDs in the child, logging to
syslog) and doesn't offer a bunch that we could do with (redirecting stdout/err
to a file instead of /dev/null; having the parent not exit until the child is
running).
As a first step, I've lifted the Daemonize code and removed the bits we don't
use. This should be a non-functional change. Fixing everything else will come
later.
We've [decided](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/5253#issuecomment-665976308) to remove the signature check for v1 lookups.
The signature check has been removed in v2 lookups. v1 lookups are currently deprecated. As mentioned in the above linked issue, this verification was causing deployments for the vector.im and matrix.org IS deployments, and this change is the simplest solution, without being unjustified.
Implementations are encouraged to use the v2 lookup API as it has [increased privacy benefits](https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-doc/pull/2134).
`StatsHandler` handles updates to the `current_state_delta_stream`, and updates room stats such as the amount of state events, joined users, etc.
However, it counts every new join membership as a new user entering a room (and that user being in another room), whereas it's possible for a user's membership status to go from join -> join, for instance when they change their per-room profile information.
This PR adds a check for join->join membership transitions, and bails out early, as none of the further checks are necessary at that point.
Due to this bug, membership stats in many rooms have ended up being wildly larger than their true values. I am not sure if we also want to include a migration step which recalculates these statistics (possibly using the `_populate_stats_process_rooms` bg update).
Bug introduced in the initial implementation https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/pull/4338.
